With the rise of K-beauty, consumers are also booking salons to have Korean hairstyles, and one of the most popular is having bangs. But how do we know what's hot or not?
In South Korea, cutting their bangs will frame their faces smaller and better. This is a most sought-after feature among women, as it is one of the requirements for passing Korean beauty standards.
However, cutting bangs that are unsuitable for a person may result in an unflattering result. Thus, this article aims to inform consumers to consider these tips before getting a haircut.
Round Face - See-through or Side Bangs
In K-pop, idols with round faces like Red Velvet Seulgi and NMIXX Haewon, see-through bangs are more suitable than full bangs since they complement the relatively wide width of the round face. Also, it doesn't feel stuffy. Like K-Drama actress Kim Yoo Jung, side bangs also go well with round faces, giving a feminine aura by cutting the length horizontally. Avoid full bangs because they add too much weight to a particular face shape.
Long Face - Soft Full Bangs

Soft, full bangs are preferable for beauty lovers with long faces.
An example of an idol with a long face is STAYC Yoon. When she debuted, her thick, full bangs became one of her trademarks. Recently, her visuals improved even more after having thinner, soft bangs.
Side Cheekbones - Side Bangs
A face with side cheekbones can create a sophisticated and mature atmosphere, but if they are too prominent, they can give an unwanted strong impression.
The bangs style that can neutralize this is see-through bangs. Side bangs naturally cover the side cheeckbones, so they go well with it.
